Texas Long Term Care Costs 2022
Texas Long Term Care Insurance has essentially become a necessity, much like health insurance, for all but the very wealthy. The necessity becomes clear when you consider Texas long term care costs. The 2022 median cost of a Texas long term care facility is now $85,107 ($233/Day).
That’s the price of a private room in a Texas nursing home. An average 3 year nursing facility stay at $255,321 could easily bankrupt the average Texas family and that’s if only one family member requires long term care services.
